"Tortured for Christ", by Richard Wurmbrand
Book Review
first, an urgent warning of the danger of the Mrna vaccine, which never should have been approved by the FDA or recommended by the CDC until more testing was done.
This is excerpted from Jeff Childers “Coffee and Covid”, “Bio Shock”, June 5th
“A little over a month ago, a veteran genetic engineer named Kevin McKernan made some shocking and alarming claims about the mRNA vaccines. He’d performed an experiment, a test, that you will rightly think probably should have been done a long time before the FDA even thought about approving the vaccines, even for experimental use.
McKernan, a leading expert in sequencing methods for DNA and RNA, got hold of ten vials of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccine. He ran samples of the jab liquid in the vials through a genetic analyzer, to see what was included in the shots. What he found was completely unexpected.
McKernan’s analysis revealed that up to 30% of the genetic payloads in the vaccines was double-stranded DNA, not single-stranded mRNA, in the form of modified bacterial DNA and bacterial plasmids. Both of these ‘contaminants’ included complete bacterial DNA engineered with spike protein instructions.
Needless to say, the vials should have only held water with nearly 100% mRNA, tidily encased in fatty little LNP delivery trucks.
Instead, up to one third of the samples were complete DNA, and that makes a gigantic difference. If McKernan is right — and nobody’s challenged his conclusions as of today’s date — then DNA contamination could elegantly explain most of the anomalous features we’ve seen from the shots, everything from why spike persists in the body so much longer than advertised, to myocarditis, long covid, and turbo cancers.”

Recommended: “Tortured for Christ”, Richard Wurmbrand,
After writing “A Thorough Study of Baptism” two weeks ago, I remembered reading Richard Wurmbrand’s “Tortured for Christ”. It was when he decided to be baptized that his Jewish wife, Sabina, realized that he was serious about becoming a Christian. Before that, she hoped it was just talk and he’d get over it. At the time, she was dead set against Christianity.
Richard Wurmbrand was imprisoned and tortured for 14 years by the communists in Rumania. I found my old copy of his little book. I had forgotten the first part. Although Jewish, he had been a passionate atheist. He didn’t just disbelieve in God; he hated God and Christianity.
His conversion didn’t come from evidences for the reality and accuracy of the New Testament and the Christian Faith. His conversion came from the power of prayer and the movement of God’s Spirit.
He tells the story:
“In a village high up in the mountains of Rumania, an old carpenter prayed like this: “My God, I have served you on earth and I wish to have my reward on earth as well as in heaven. And my reward should be that I should not die before I bring a Jew to Christ, because Jesus was from the Jewish people. But I am poor, old and sick. I cannot go around and seek a Jew. In my village there are none. Bring Thou a Jew into my village and I will do my best to bring him to Christ.”
“Something irresistible drew me to that village. I had nothing to do there. Rumania has 12000 villages. But I went to that village. Seeing I was a Jew, the carpenter courted me as never a beautiful girl had been courted. He saw in me the answer to his prayer and gave me the Bible to read. I had read the Bible out of cultural interest many times before. But the bible he gave me was another kind of Bible. As he told me afterward, he prayed for hours together with his wife for my conversion and that of my wife. The bible he gave me was written not so much in words, but in flames of love fired by his prayers. I could scarcely read it. I could only weep over it, comparing my bad life with the life of Jesus; my impurity, my hatred with His love; and He accepted me to be one of His own.”
His wife, Sabina, had a terrible struggle against becoming a Christian. She was dead set against it, for many reasons. Both the Orthodox Church and the Lutheran Church were strongly anti-semitic. The biggest anti-semite group in the country was called the National Christian Defense League. She said its chief activity seemed to consist in beating Jewish students and smashing Jewish shops. As a young girl, she used to walk home from school where two bigger girls, ‘Christians’, used to lie in wait and then pull her hair and call her a ‘dirty little Jewess’.
It was when Richard took the step of commitment in baptism that she broke. Somehow God changed her heart. The old carpenter’s prayer was answered in her life too.
One week a number of years ago I heard that Richard Wurmbrand would be preaching in Portland, Oregon, and my friend and brother, Ron Sunseri, and I went to hear him. He preached sitting down, because his feet hurt so much if he stood too long. When he was tortured in a communist prison, they had beat his feet with iron rods. After the sermon, Ron and I talked to pastor Wurmbrand for quite a while. He ended up inviting us to visit him where they were staying at a house in St. Helens, Oregon. We went up the same day and spent some more time with him, although he was tirelessly working on his next book, even after preaching in the morning. His wife Sabina asked us to take her to the store for some groceries, which we did, and we had a simple lunch together.
The Wurmbrands made a powerful impression on me and had an impact on my life. This book tells of the seduction of communist rule, pretending to be a friend of the church, and fooling many Christian pastors, who subsequently bowed to communism.
“Once the communists came to power, they skilfully used the means of seduction towards the church….The communists convened a congress of all Christian bodies in our parliament building. There were 4000 priests, pastors, and ministers of all denominations. These 4000 priests and pastors chose Joseph Stalin as honorary president of this congress….The president of the Baptists proclaimed that Stalin did nothing but fulfill the commandments of God.” (“…true baptists, whom I love very much, did not agree and were very faithful to Christ, suffering much”.)
“…the coming to power of communism and the betrayal of many official church leaders compelled us to form an Underground Church; one faithful to evangelize, preach the Gospel, and reach children for Christ. The communists forbade all this and the official church agreed.”
Wurmbrand goes on to describe what it was like to explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Russians who never had a bible, never had been to a church, and had grown up all their lives under atheistic communist rule. He witnessed the supreme joy that overtook new converts when they learned about Jesus and His love.
This book is a first hand account of the evils of communism, the courage to preach the Truth even when it would mean imprisonment, the suffering of being arrested and separated from family and tortured for years, and the power of Faith and Hope and the Holy Spirit who gives the victory even over torture and in some cases, death itself. Christians have no fear of death because in Christ, it’s not an end - it’s the beginning of heaven forever.
“Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.” Psalm 116:15. BTW - some people, especially Catholics, may not have been taught that the bible calls all true believers, followers of Christ, “saints”, even though none of us are perfect
Another good read is “The Pastor’s Wife”, Sabina Wurmbrand, where we get Sabina’s story. She carried on with the Underground Church while Richard was in prison, but eventually she too was arrested, imprisoned, and introduced to torture and slave labor under communist rule., and has her own story to tell.
